The rise of the poor

Chapter 204
Despite being at the end of the crane, despite being the last one, he is still a high school candidate with a very different status.

Regardless of whether the students in the inn are jealous or envious, or look at Zhu Pingan through colored glasses, if you hit it, you hit it.The students came over in twos and threes to thank Zhu Pingan, and Zhu Pingan also got up and bowed their hands in return one by one.

Waves of good news rushed past the door, making the students waiting in the inn stare blankly.

However, it didn't take long for everyone to wait, and two servants who announced the good news came in again in the inn.

"Success in the township examination, congratulations to Master Zhu Shiming of Suzhou Prefecture No. 80 ninth place in the township examination."

Another student in the inn was elected. He still has the same surname as Zhu Ping'an, but his ranking is much better than Zhu Ping'an's, No. 80 nine.Of course, he is also much older than Zhu Ping'an, at least in his 40s.

The wind direction in the inn has completely changed. Except for the fat man, all the students who were originally by Zhu Ping'an's side rushed to that Zhu Shiming's side, congratulating them and making friends with them.

"Brother Zhu is not lucky."

"That is, Sima Xiangru and Lin Xiangru are not as good in name as they are in reality"

Some of the students around Zhu Shiming did not hesitate to belittle Zhu Pingan secretly in order to praise Zhu Shiming, alluding to the fact that Zhu Pingan was lucky and that Zhu Shiming was a real talent.

"What the hell!" The fat man was indignant, and his small eyes looked at those people around Zhu Shiming with contempt.

"Why don't you mind, let's go and congratulate together." Zhu Pingan didn't care, slightly raised the corners of his lips in a half-smile, got up and said to the fat man lightly.

When Zhu Pingan led the fat man to congratulate Zhu Shiming, he could see the arrogance and slight disdain in Zhu Shiming's eyes. Although Zhu Shiming returned the gift very humbly, his eyes would not lie.

"What are you proud of? You won the exam only halfway into the ground. What's there to be proud of? You don't even deserve to lift shoes for our brothers."

After returning to his seat, the fat man looked at the complacent Zhu Shiming and pursed his lips.

Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhu Shiming who was complacent, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, and shook his head slightly, the amount of coverage is limited to this when the weapon is full.

It's just a rural exam, and the road to becoming an official is a long way to go.

"It's announced, it's announced."

Not long after, excited shouts came from outside the inn, and then the students in the inn became hopeful again. The guards may not always deliver the good news in time, maybe mine hasn’t had time yet, so the students scrambled to come and go. Flooded outside the inn.

"Let's go, let's take a look too." Fatty also took Zhu Ping'an with great interest to the Jiangnan Gongyuan to see the announcement.

Zhu Pingan didn't want to miss such a historic moment, so he followed Fatty all the way to Jiangnan Gongyuan.

The Jiangnan Gongyuan was crowded with people, and the lights and festoons were very lively. When Zhu Pingan passed by, he happened to see the crowd under the Guibang as if they had been scalded by boiling water, screaming non-stop.

"Hurry up, hurry up, someone has caught a son-in-law on the list."

At this time, Zhu Ping'an was relieved by a narrow cry, it turned out that someone was on the list to catch his son-in-law.So, Zhu Ping'an found a stone with great interest and stood on it, looking down at the lively crowd.

I saw a young man in a uniform in the crowd being dragged and pulled by seven or eight servants in uniform. On the other side was an elder about half a century old who was stroking his beard and watching this scene, and occasionally said to the servants back and forth. One sentence, "This virtuous son-in-law, please come to the house and give me ten taels of silver."

Under the generous reward, those servants quickly pulled the young student into the sedan chair like chicken blood.

The elder, who was about half a century old, smiled and bowed to the crowd, and another servant sprinkled copper coins to the crowd, which means happy money, and then the elder got into the other side to teach his son, and the servant carried him back home.

"See, the son-in-law is Cao Yang Cao Jieyuan from Yingtian. You really envy me. Do you know that the old man is Mr. Zhao, the fifth rank of our Yingtianfu. I heard that his family has three like flowers and jade Where is your daughter, tsk tsk tsk."

"Today's title on the gold list, and tomorrow's bridal chamber flowers and candles, I am really envious, I will hang my ass when I go back"

"Oh, why didn't I wait."

Hearing the voices of envy, jealousy and hatred from the surrounding people, Zhu Pingan also knew that the one who was arrested this time was Cao Yang, Cao Jieyuan, who was under the list to catch his son-in-law. However, although Cao Yang looked young, he was at least 23-[-]. , This age should have been married in ancient times, arresting a son-in-law, arresting a son-in-law, I don’t know how Cao Jieyuan will deal with it.

In a high-rise private room of a restaurant not far from here, two examiners in casual clothes were drinking while watching the scene of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy releasing the list through the window.

"Hehe, then Cao Yang should thank Brother Zhang very much." Wang Wang's chief examiner watched the scene of catching his son-in-law under the list, and couldn't help laughing at Zhang's chief examiner.

Chief examiner Zhang shook his head, smiled wryly, and was speechless.

"It's nothing to pick up a Jieyuan." The chief examiner said meaningfully, stroking his beard.

"Brother Wang, speak carefully." Chief Zhang shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's just you and me here, everyone else has gone to see the list, so why be cautious. If you want me to say, brother Zhang has a good idea, but his approach is biased. A Jie Yuan who should have been good, But you put it at the bottom of the list abruptly." The examiner Wang looked at the examiner Zhang and shook his head and said.

"If he can understand my painstaking efforts, he will be very grateful to me in the future." Chief examiner Zhang stroked his beard with a calm face, "There are countless examples of hurting Zhongyong, I don't want such a young talent to become a future A counterexample of human education.”

"Brother Zhang, how do you know that this young man is not a perseverant and hardworking person?" the king's chief examiner asked again.

"I did it as a last resort. These young talents can be called the pillars of the country. I did this to be safe." Chief examiner Zhang said frankly.

While the two examiners were talking nonsense, there were more and more people looking at the list in front of Jiangnan Gongyuan, and Zhu Ping'an and Fatty finally squeezed their way to the bottom of the list.

No.1 Cao Yang, No.2 Xu Tianshou, No.3 Liu Rucheng, No.4 Yang Wendao, No.5 Jiang Yuyou, No.6 Li Yuze
Zhu Pingan looked up at the list, and there were unfamiliar names in front of him. He saw the familiar name until he saw No. 20, Wang Jin, and then the No. 60 third and No. 70 nine saw Liu Qian and Guo Ziyu, and then There are no more familiar names.

As for Feng Shanshui, Xia Luoming and the people who used to be with them, none of them were on the list, either they failed to take the exam, or they failed the exam after the exam.

"Master Zhou, it's really you."

Hearing a happy voice, Zhu Pingan turned his head and saw two familiar girls, one with a bun in a bun, and one who was a few years older.

"Mr. Zhou, you, don't be sad. You didn't pass the exam this time. You will definitely do it next time." The girl with a ponytail blinked her big sympathetic eyes, pinched the hem of her clothes, and comforted her with sympathy.

Another girl is similar.

"Master Zhou, hahaha"

Hearing this, the fat man pointed at Zhu Ping'an and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, do you have any sympathy? You, how can you make fun of Young Master Zhou like this? You don't know how hard Young Master Zhou worked so hard to fail the exam, so what? Young Master Zhou will definitely be able to go to high school next time." Wearing a ponytail The girl pouted, dissatisfied with the fat man.

"Brother Zhu, congratulations."

At this time, another voice came over. Xia Luoming, Feng Shanshui and others walked over with Liu Qian and Guo Ziyu. Xia Luoming congratulated Zhu Pingan with a complicated expression.

"You're lucky. Although it's at the bottom of the list, you're still on the list, right? When you go back, you'll have to offer a few more sticks of incense to the ancestors of your Zhu family."

Guo Ziyu also expressed his congratulations to Zhu Ping'an, but his disdain was clearly evident from his eccentric voice and haughty face.

"Zhu? Isn't Mr. Zhou surnamed Zhou?" The girl with the horse bun was stunned.

The other older girl also gave Zhu Pingan a gloomy look, but when she saw Xia Luoming and others approaching, the older girl dragged her away in a hurry before the girl with the ponytail had time to ask Zhu Pingan for proof. .Just now they could take advantage of the crowd to read more rankings, but now the people who come to Zhu Ping'an's side are either recruiters or scholars, obviously it's not a place for them two brothel girls to stay.
